Partner closely with Product Leaders to understand mid- and long-term product strategies and define architectural roadmaps accordingly.
Align with key technical stakeholders (e.g., DevOps, Application Security, Platform, and Database teams) to ensure architectural consistency across the organization.
Define and validate the non-functional requirements (e.g., performance, scalability, security, reliability, and maintainability) required by technical solutions, ensuring they are incorporated into the overall solution design.
Empower development teams to actively participate in solution design while ensuring alignment with architectural principles, standards, and business requirements.
Collaborate with project stakeholders to break down technical solutions into realistic delivery plans, including scope, sizing, milestones, implementation phases, dependencies, and build order.

Proven ability to estimate effort, timelines, milestones, iterations, and project scope with a high degree of accuracy.
Comfortable working in fast-paced environments, responding effectively to changing priorities, and adapting architectural strategies when necessary.
Experience designing and building applications on major cloud platforms, with a solid understanding of technologies that enable global web application delivery, including CDNs and edge computing.
